Calendars and forms in Market Center Sites work together to schedule appointments and collect recruit information. Sometimes, you may want to customize the form, such as adding a field where recruits can share additional details or questions. This guide walks through duplicating a calendar form, adding a custom field, and connecting the updated form to a calendar.
Steps to Customize a Calendar Form #
1. Log In and Access Forms #
- Log into your Market Center Sites platform.
- From the dashboard, go to Sites in the left navigation.
- Select Forms along the top.
- Hover over Forms to reveal three options:
- Builder
- Analyze
- Submissions
- Select Builder to open the form editor.
2. Duplicate an Existing Calendar Form #
- Locate the form you want to customize. In this example it’s the Calendar Appointment Form.
- Hover over the form name and click the three dots on the far right.
- Select Duplicate from the dropdown.
- Rename the duplicated form (e.g., In-School Calendar Form) and click Confirm.
Tip: Duplicating ensures the original form remains unchanged and can be reused if needed. Additionally, in this case the Appointment Form is a standard form that’s used across all calendars, including group event calendars like the Info Sessions.
3. Add a Custom Field #
- Open your newly duplicated form.
- From the left panel, scroll to find Multi-Line Text Box and drag it into the form. Or add the appropriate field for the item you’re looking to collect from the recruit.
- Rename the field to something descriptive (e.g., Journey and Comments).
- Add placeholder text, such as:
Share where you are in your journey and any questions you’d like us to cover. - Update the Query Key to
journey-comments(optional – used for pre-population via URL parameters). - Choose whether to make the field required by toggling the checkbox.
- Click Save in the upper right corner.
4. Connect the Custom Form to the Calendar #
- In the left navigation, select Calendars.
- Find the calendar you want to update and click the pencil icon (edit).
- Go to the Forms and Payment section.
- Replace the standard form with your newly customized form.
- Click Save.
5. Test the Updated Calendar #
- Open the calendar and select a date and time.
- Ensure the customized form now displays with the new field.
- If not visible immediately, refresh the page to load the latest version.
Why Customize? #
- Collect more specific information from recruits.
- Personalize the booking experience.
- Ensure forms align with your Market Center’s recruiting workflow.
